You can enter quickly even if you buy a ticket a day in advance! Since it is a tourist attraction with many people, it seems convenient to prepare in advance! It is similar to the price of a local ticket, so there is no burden! It is super convenient because they send you a QR that can be used immediately after purchase.

It was such a rewarding time. If I had gone without a guided tour, I would have never known how great the Louvre was. I recommend it to everyone!!

Entering the venue at about 11:30, you only need to show the QR code and enter the venue at the C1 entrance. It is much smoother than other on-site ticket buyers!

Purchased timed entry tickets for 6 pax at 10.30am. There is a different queues for various entry time, so make sure you are in the correct queue (our entry was from the Museum pyramid). At least by purchasing the ticket early, it will put your mind at ease...

Took the Big Bus at Champs-Elysees, was happy that bus was already there early although it's schedule departure time was 9.45am. Took the bus to our ticketed places of attraction. Its convenient, just make sure you plan your itinerary according to their pit stops.
